FOCO released a new Los Angeles Dodgers bobblehead that features Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki combined together in one set.
All three Japanese natives are dressed in the home Dodgers uniform and in the action of a pitching pose. The backdrop includes name displays and Dodgers logo, along with text of “STARRING THE TRIPLE THREAT.”

Also displayed is the Japanese flag, which is both fitting for their heritage and also the Dodgers beginning the regular season with the Tokyo Series.
Moreover, prior to reuniting on the Dodgers, Sasaki, Ohtani and Yamamoto last were teammates on the Team Japan roster for the 2023 World Baseball Classic.
The three-player bobblehead is a limited edition and won’t be restocked once quantities sell out. FOCO has a few remaining bobbleheads of Sasaki and Ohtani paired together. That version also features the two in a pitching pose.
After a record-breaking first season with the Dodgers in only a designated hitter role, Ohtani is progressing toward a return to the mound this year.
He’s thrown multiple bullpen sessions during Spring Training and is expected to begin pitching in games in early May or potentially slightly earlier.
Meanwhile, Yamamoto remains on track to start Opening Day at the Tokyo Dome. Indications had been Sasaki was the favorite to pitch in the second game of the series against the Chicago Cubs, but manager Dave Robert has since clarified a decision is yet to be made.
Sasaki is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut on Tuesday, pitching out of the bullpen in a game Yamamoto is starting.
